Bisphenol AF promotes estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cell proliferation through amphiregulin-mediated crosstalk with receptor tyrosine kinase signaling

TL;DR: The novel finding that AREG mediates BPAf-induced ER-RTK crosstalk in ER+ breast cancer cells supports future studies to characterize the impact of BPAF on human ER+ Breast cancer risk and to assess the safety profile of B PAF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation between conjugated bisphenol a concentrations and efflux transporter expression in human fetal livers

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that xenobiotic transporters may be coordinately expressed in the human fetal liver, and is the first report of a relationship between environmentally relevant fetal BPA levels and differences in the expression of transporter that can excrete the parent compound and its metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solid phase extraction and spectrofluorometric determination of leached bisphenol A from some polycarbonate products under simulated use conditions using surface molecularly imprinted magnetite nanospheres

TL;DR: In this article, a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent for solid phase extraction of leached bisphenol A (BPA) from some polycarbonate products is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-term induction of vitellogenesis in the immature male yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) exposed to bisphenol A and 17β-estradiol:

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that short-term exposure of yellowfin seabream to BPA induced adverse effects in the reproductive system of hermaphrodite fish.

Interaction of estrogenic chemicals and phytoestrogens with estrogen receptor beta.

TL;DR: The estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ERα or ERβ protein, and in a transient gene expression assay using cells in which an acute estrogenic response is created by cotransfecting cultures with recombinant human ERβ complementary DNA (cDNA) in the presence of an estrogen-dependent reporter plasmid are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA).

TL;DR: The reported levels of BPA in human fluids are higher than the BPA concentrations reported to stimulate molecular endpoints in vitro and appear to be within an order of magnitude of the levels needed to induce effects in animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure of the U.S. population to bisphenol A and 4-tertiary-octylphenol: 2003-2004

TL;DR: Urine concentrations of total BPA differed by race/ethnicity, age, sex, and household income, and these first U.S. population representative concentration data for urinary BPA and tOP should help guide public health research priorities.

Bisphenol-A and the Great Divide: A Review of Controversies in the Field of Endocrine Disruption

TL;DR: This review has covered the above-mentioned controversies plus six additional issues that have divided scientists in the field of BPA research, namely: mechanisms of bisphenol-A action; levels of human exposure; 3) routes of human Exposure; 4) pharmacokinetic models of Bpa metabolism; 5) effects of B PA on exposed animals; and 6) links between BPA and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal nutrient supplementation counteracts bisphenol A-induced DNA hypomethylation in early development.

TL;DR: This paper showed that maternal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a high-production-volume chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic, is associated with higher body weight, increased breast and prostate cancer, and altered reproductive function.
